Our PremiumPlus has a specification better than any competitor. This cabin has a secure 4-point locking system, Larger Purlins for extra roof strength, Wide Opening French Doors, and large windows with unique Dunster House Domestic Hinges and Multi-Point Locking.Unlike competitors, our thick Tongue&Groove floors and Pressure Treated Bearers are included in the price. All this on top of the Premium Features of Spruce timber, Toughened Glass and High Eaves.

Our PremiumPlus doors feature our industry leading four point locking system. It features a hook, locking latch and two roller locks. We use a type of lock that has 6 pins and has been tested to BSEN 1303:2005 classification to ensure it is a safer, more secure locking system. Our Premiumplus windows have multipoint locking as well, using the same type of system as we supply with our uPVC windows and doors.

4mm toughened glass

We use 4mm toughened glass in our windows and doors for increased safety and security. It's much better than 3mm horticultural glass, commonly found in garden buildings, as it's a lot harder to break, and if ever it is broken it breaks into small pieces rather than large shards. It is also much harder to scratch than the plastic alternatives, styrene, acrylic and perspex, so will preserve your clear view out for far longer.

Optional 24mm Double Glazing

The double glazing option on PremiumPlus Log Cabins is an industry leading 24mm thick. We make these sealed units ourselves to European Standard EN1279. Made up of 4mm toughened glass, 16mm spacer and another piece of 4mm toughened glass. It's an excellent way of insulating your cabin and extending its usage from a seasonal building to one that can be used throughout the year.

10 year timber guarantee?

Other companies claim that they offer a 10 year Guarantee on their untreated timber. If you read the small print, you'll find that these Guarantees are pointless. They cover the cabin against rot and insect infestation only if you, the customer, treat the cabin every year with a good quality preservative. Why are these Companies offering a Guarantee for something that you are going to have to do yourself? How could you prove you had treated it if you tried to make a claim? We don't offer pointless Guarantees. We guarantee that our pressure treated timber and our galvanised metal will last for 10 years without yearly labour from you.

Customise your design

Our Log Cabins have been designed to fit any garden and accommodate any personal preferences. Where our pictures show the doors on either the left or the right hand side of the front elevation if you want the doors on the other side of the front elevation simply reverse the position of the front wall logs when you build it. You can choose between a traditional or modern style, depending on the type of roof you prefer, and with or without Georgian Bars, to suit your taste.

Our PremiumPlus doors feature easily adjustable hinges allowing you to make minor changes if ever required. The windows on this range have the same friction stays as we supply on our uPVC windows, meaning that you can open the window and leave it open with just the hinges taking the load, with no need for a stay arm. These sets of hinges are stylish and supremely user friendly.

Adjustable storm braces

Our adjustable storm braces tie the log cabin roof to the rest of the building so it withstands stronger winds. Unlike other cabins on the market they are adjustable to allow for the natural movement of the cabin which helps prevent gaps appearing between wall logs as the logs settle and move.

Slow Grown Spruce

We use slow grown spruce for the walls of all our log cabins as it is better all round than pine! Spruce is less porous than Pine and so less likely to shrink, warp or split. We only select slowly grown timber from colder climates which also helps keep the timber more stable as the rings are densely packed. It is also a less resinous timber than Pine, which makes the possibility of sap ruining your clothes or furnishings much less likely.

TALL WALKTHROUGH HEIGHT

With our extra tall doors, unless you are over 1.86m (6'1") tall you can walk right the way through without any danger of bumping your head.

AVOID PLANNING PERMISSION

This building is under 2.5m high. Why does this matter? Under permitted development rights, buildings under 2.5m high can be placed as close as you want to a boundary (eg. a fence line) without planning permission. Buildings that are over 2.5m high need to be placed over 2m away from any boundary (eg. a fence line), which could lead to a lot of wasted space. If you want to find out more about permitted development rights see our planning guide

PRESSURE TREATED FLOOR BEARERS

By pressure treating our floor bearers we protect the lowest part of the building from rot and insect infestation. This forces the treatment deep into the timber using a large pressure treatment tank. Due to this costly but effective process we can offer our customers a genuine 10 year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers with no need for the customer to re-treat this timber at any point during that time.

So you have found the perfect Dunster House Garden Building but you’re not quite sure if you need Planning Permission in order to put it up.

Our simple guide makes it easy for you to understand the rules and regulations for planning permission. This informative guide will highlight whether you will need to abide by certain rules and if your building is going to be considered to be Permitted Development and therefore not need Planning Permission.

Please be aware this guide is intended for Dunster House Buildings Only.

Need Building Regulations?

This building has an internal floor space up to 15m2

It is very unlikely that you’ll need any Building Regulations at all.
There is no requirement to meet Building Regulations regardless of what you’re using the building for, except for Sleeping Accommodation.

Average Seller Rating:

I love my new summerhouse! It arrived early in the day and took a day and a half to erect. The instructions were clear and we did have the help of a neighbour who had purchased and erected a similar summerhouse from you last year. We chose to use creosote on the outside to protect the wood and painted the inside white. With the lovely weather, it has been utilised fully. We have added a solar shed light inside which is sufficient for our needs and a gas heater as we didn't want to run utilities down. Very pleased with it.

Very impressed. Good service. Friendly. The studio used quality materials., which were all well prepared. Online video was very useful. Would only recommend an indexed instruction manual as some parts were difficult to find and follow. Other than that, very pleased.

I am sitting in it now. It is a solid and very well designed. It is durable and the Dunster installers completed the build in a day and a half. I could not be more pleased with it!
